Stereospecific cross-coupling of alpha-(thiocarbamoyl)organostannanes with alkenyl, aryl, and heteroaryl iodides

J Am Chem Soc. 2007 Jan 31;129(4):790-3. doi: 10.1021/ja064948q.

Abstract

Racemic and scalemic PTC-protected alpha-hydroxystannanes cross-couple with alkenyl/aryl/heteroaryl iodides in moderate to good yields using copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC) in THF at or below room temperature. Simple aryl iodides and 1-iodocyclohexene, two classes of electrophiles that typically react sluggishly, are also good substrates. Cross-couplings proceed with retention of configuration at the alkenyl- and stannyl-substituted stereocenters.
